Abstract

We evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of two Cepheid Xpert MRSA assay generations using pooled samples from 4,519 patients to detect MRSA carriage in a low-prevalence population. High accuracy, including 95 % sensitivity and 99 % specificity was shown for the Xpert MRSA NxG kit. This supports pooled PCR as a resource-efficient method.
